Salike

What Salike does

Salike Limited is a UK-incorporated, privately held company founded in 2015 that produces and sells biodegradable coir-based erosion control products and horticultural substrates for environmental restoration applications. The company's core technology uses coconut husk fibres processed into a portfolio of natural fibre engineering products — including coir netting, coir logs, coir sheets, coir pallets, erosion control blankets, drain sheets and mats, jute geotextiles, and metal pegs — with a differentiated offering of Pre-Grown Coir Logs and Pallets pre-populated with native UK vegetation. Products are designed to recognised performance standards for sensitive landscapes (rivers, wetlands, shorelines, embankments) and support compliance with Biodiversity Net Gain requirements under the UK Environment Act 2021, with carbon neutrality verified under ISO 14064-1:2018.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market model via direct sales to contractors, consultants, government authorities, and environmental organisations across international markets, supplemented by two e-commerce storefronts (salike.co.uk and CoirProducts.co.uk) serving both retail and wholesale customers. Pricing is per-unit (£19.99–£319.99 depending on specification) with wholesale terms available for bulk orders. Manufacturing and raw material sourcing are conducted through long-term Sri Lankan partnerships established over 20 years ago, while commercial operations, marketing, and distribution are based at the London headquarters. The company has no disclosed external funding, operates with 1–10 employees, and is independently founder/management owned.

The customer base spans government and public sector buyers (UK local authorities), engineering and technical consultants (civil, geotechnical, environmental), contractors and land managers, environmental NGOs, and a long-tail of individual landscaping customers. Marketing is content-led through a Knowledge Hub, technical guides, and SEO-optimised product pages, targeting specification-driven purchase decisions. Geographic markets served include the UK and selected international regions (notably Japan), with documented UK domestic delivery restrictions to certain island and Northern Ireland territories.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Coir Netting Woven natural coir netting providing soil stabilisation, reinforcement, landscaping, and erosion control. Made from coconut husk fibres, 100% natural and plastic-free, used by contractors, consultants, and government authorities on embankments and slopes.
• Coir Logs Engineered coir logs composed entirely of coir fibre encased in Coir Netting, designed to foster rapid vegetation restoration and protect soil composition on river, lake, and pond margins.
• Coir Sheets Coir sheets bound by natural latex providing effective soil preservation and vegetation promotion, suppressing unwanted weeds without disturbing soil.
• Coir Pallets Biodegradable natural coir pallets for erosion control and habitat creation that enable plant roots to penetrate through and encourage robust root system growth.
• Coir Erosion Control Blankets Premium biodegradable coir erosion control blankets with optional brown or black PP netting or jute, providing exceptional soil stabilisation and erosion control across various landscapes.
• Dual Purpose Coir Blankets Versatile erosion control solution combining Coir Netting and Coir Sheets, available with a pre-seeded option for rapid vegetation growth and robust soil stabilisation.
• Pre-Grown Coir Logs Pre-populated coir logs with native UK vegetation nurtured for at least two seasons, offering immediate soil erosion protection while promoting vegetation establishment for ecosystem restoration.
• Pre-Grown Coir Pallets Pre-populated pallets with native UK vegetation for controlling wind erosion, establishing vegetation around water bodies, creating floating pond islands, and pond lining.
• Drain Sheets Flexible non-woven fabric drain sheets that efficiently drain excess water from soil surfaces, with flocculants that aggregate soil particles, prevent muddy streams, and restrain soil erosion.
• Drain Mats Engineered mats featuring non-woven fabrics for water drainage, a convex-shaped growth media pouch that reduces water flow momentum, and fertiliser/water-holding materials for rapid plant growth; constructed from PE net and PET nonwoven fabrics.
• Jute Geotextiles Natural jute geotextiles used in slope management, erosion control, soil conservation, stabilisation of earthen embankments, river and canal bank protection, and subgrade strengthening.
• Metal Pegs Metal anchoring pegs for securing coir erosion control products to slopes and ground surfaces.
